THE TRAP

This story is the worst of the set in terms of both illustration and story. Even the paper used for this book was of a substandard quality. The tale makes little sense from start to finish. He‑Man is apparently easily knocked out by Skeletor at the beginning and relieved of his sword. He‑Man and Stratos enter Castle Grayskull and encounter a series of pointless illusions. Against all logic (having entered the fortress) Skeletor says he allowed He‑Man access. The Power Sword splits for no good reason just as Skeletor is about to kill He‑Man, thereby permitting He‑Man to defeat Skeletor. A very weak story.
